Free warehouse checklist
Record the warehouse before you move in.
Walk the building area by area. Mark each item good, worn or damaged, tick off your photos and add notes. Then print it, or save it as a PDF, and ask the landlord to sign it. Free, and nothing is sent anywhere.

About the checklist
Why record the condition on day one?
At the end of a lease, the make good is usually measured against the condition at the start. If nobody recorded it, it comes down to memory and argument. A dated record, ideally signed by both sides, settles most of those questions before they come up.
Is this the same as a schedule of condition?
It does the same job. A formal schedule of condition is often prepared by a building consultant and attached to the lease. This checklist is a practical starting point if there is none, or a way to check one you have been given.
Where are my answers saved?
Only in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to MAKE GREAT. Print it or save it as a PDF to keep it, and store it with your photos and the lease.
Does the landlord have to sign it?
Not by law, but ask them to. A record both sides have signed is much stronger than one side's notes. Send it to the landlord or agent in writing either way, and keep proof that you did.
How many photos should I take?
More than you think. Take wide shots of each area, then close-ups of every mark, crack and repair, with something in the frame for scale. Keep the original files, because they carry the date.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a practical checklist. Your lease decides what you must hand back, and a lawyer can advise on your lease.
